- BACK COVER Hiroshige Ando (1797-1858) Fireworks at Ryogoku Bridge Series: One Hundred Famous Views of Edo Woodblock print Judging from the large number of prints on the subject, watching fireworks being set off at Ryogoku Bridge was a very popular summer pastime. The fireworks were sometimes sponsored by the restaurants along the river�s banks. In this print we see many people on the bridge, and a large number of pleasure boats in the water. The larger boats were piloted by four men and were for big parties, whilst the smaller boats, helmed by two men, were for more intimate gatherings. Curated by Barry Till Jacket design by Frank Reimer Printed and bound in Canada � Art Gallery of Greater Victoria and the author, 2009
